Abstract

Conflicting results have been published about intra-uterine insemination efficacy. In many studies, success rates is due to ovarian stimulation and number of follicles. In the present fight against multiple pregnancies, ovarian stimulation is discussed and present pregnancy rates are weak. Our aim is to demonstrate that there is a place for the association controlled ovarian hyperstimulation and intra-uterine insemination in the field of infertility treatments. It is possible to try and recognise women at high risk of multiple pregnancies, keeping the benefit of ovarian stimulation.
